Untertan

Untertan

by Heinrich Mann

Der Untertan is a satirical novel by Heinrich Mann, first published in 1918. It is a critique of the German Empire during the reign of Wilhelm II, and a study of the authoritarian personality. The novel follows the life of Diederich Heßling, a careerist and opportunist who rises to a position of power in Wilhelmine society. Heßling is a symbol of the German bourgeoisie, which Mann saw as complicit in the rise of German militarism and imperialism.
